A WILL CCNTEsT.-An important
case will come up for a hearing before
Judge Hinnant to-day. Some time
ago temporary injunction was OBJ
tanned, restraining the executors of the
last will and testament of Thomas
Davis from proceedings under the
will. The easc to-day is upon motion
to dissolve this injunction, and the
proceedings promise to be very Inter
esting. About $50, 900 is involved in
the contest, and the result of the
contest will be awaited with interest.
Two PETITIONS. Two petitions have
been sent from the county to our dele
cation in the Legislature. One is
from White Oak, the other from
Blythewood, and both ask for special
acts providing for trial justices in
those townships. Our delegation, we
learn, look with favor on the petitions,
but instead of advocating special acts
for these townships they will propose
an amendment to tho general law,
providing for one trial justice in each
township in the county. The salaries
will be 80 reduced as to make the cost
just the. same to the county as at
present. The objection to the present
law is that it is too inconvenient for the
residents of certain townships. The
amendment proposed will remedy this,
and will doubtless meet the approval
of our citizens.

Another peculiarly of these people is
that each family has symbol, or crest
which is placed on all their houses. ca
noes, utensils and carvings, and by this
mark are they known. The women all
wear large pieces Of wood in their I'M
der lip, and any disregard of this Gus
tom is der ded. 1t was to 60 among
such people that Mr.. Duncan gave up
his life and fortune. After thirty years
of labor he succeeded in establishing n
self-supporting community. He organ
lied police force, erected houses,
churches. town hall, saw mills, work
shops, founded an agricultural depart
ment, and built small steamer and
two schooners, all of which was done
entirely by the Indians. They were
taxed each so many blankets each year
to bu Id streets and roads, and the best
order was maintained.

CITY COUNCIL.
Charter Amendments Ready for the
Legislature.

The city council was called TO meet
last night TO consider the heretofore
proposed charter amendments. The
meeting was unexpected, but never
thcless conclusive. Representative
Strong had sent word to City Alto
ncy johnson that the amendments had
better be laid before the legislature at
as early tine as possible; hence the
haste.
The first matter that came up was
the election of the city attorney by the
city council. Mr. Carter opposed this
amendment. Messrs. Rowley and
Mahoncy favored it. Mahoney knew,
he said, that ii was against the popu-
lar wish, but he thought the council
was better able to judge who was an
honest and able man than the people,
and Mr.. Rowley believed the city coun-
ell better able to Judge of the calibre
of the city attorney. In fact the posi-
ton was fatty against the people
having anything to do with the cleo
ton of city attorney. The vote
stood: Ayes-Bookhout, Keller, Loeb,
Louckx, Mahoney, Peterman, Rauch
and Rowley-S.
Noes-Brown, Carter, Daugherty
and MITCHELL.
After little more wrang,ing Mr..
Bookhout moved that all the proposed
amendments, as amended, be adopted,
which carried.
The city attorney was then author
lied to proceed to Austin to log roll
the amendments through.
A resolution was passed authorizing
the mayor to appoint committee to
solicit names TO paper asking the
legislature to amend the city charter.

CAPITAL PUNlSHM EMIT.
Lightning VS.. The Rope.


Commissioner Southwick of the com.
mission appointed by the New York
Legislature to find some substitute for
hanging said to Cincinnati Enquirer
reporter:
II believe the death penalty is neces-
sary," he answered, 'for there is class
of people. lower order of beings, to
whom it is positively essential. ! refer
to people who come from line of MUIR
derers--that is, men who have descend
ed directly from families of criminal
proclivities.
"If the law is changed from death by
hanging to death by electricity, then it
should and would be made to include
women rs well as mon. Any discr M
nation between the sexes would make
the law unconstitutional"
''How would you use electricity"
Just see here" said Dr. Southwick,
jumping up and seating himself in an
armchair. "The condemned man can
sit naturally in chair like this, place
his hands on the metal arms and con-
verse with those around him. The
metal plates would be connected with n
powerful dynamo, and at the proper mo-
ment somebody in another room would
press button, close the circuit and
the fatal shock would pass through the
body of the subject. The charl would

and penetrate the system, death result

paratus with which to execute by cleo
tricity in Buffalo. for instance. would
be about $50. Connection could be
made with the electric light station and
the expense of an execution would be
of little consequence. 1t would not cost
any more than the price of cigar to
kill a condemned man after that You
see it would be cheaper than hanging
and much easier.
"You believe, then, in electric eXccu'

Photographing Dogs.

A singular story was told me of the
way in which a great mastiff who has
never been in the city manifested his
opposition to being "taken." After
some little trouble he was placed in po-
sition facing the instrument. and re-
manned quietly till the photographer
pulled the cloth from the front of his
lens and let the big glass eye stare at
the huge dog. This was too much for
the mastiff. who at once sprang at the
machine and pulled it down before his
owner could interfere to prevent his
doing any more damage. Then. after
quieting the animal and letting him see
what was wanted of him. he submitted
calmly to being ''taken." and was so
pleased with his photograph that a
copy is kept in his kennel firmly fast
ened by frame and covered by a
glass. which prevents him from exer-
cising his propensity to lick it with his
tongue.-B0st0n Post.

charge of certain cheap publications in
New York at salary of $1,000. Mrs.
Ann S. Stevens. at her death a few
months ago. left handsome fortune OF
$500, 600, the result of her literary work
and profitable investments.
Not long ago the secretary and treas
urer of one of the largest street-car
lines in Pittsburgh was taken i'll. and
his daughter, who never had any
practical training for the work. under
took to manage his business She kept
the books in good shape. attended to
the collection of money, paid the en-
ployes, and bought feed and stock for
the company. Her father died. and
she had done so well in her official
capacity that the company thought the
best thing to be done was to elect the
girl to fill the position permaaently.
There are women of SUCH great
business ability that they have proved
themselves a match for the very sharp
est financiers. From Chill comes the
report of one Dona Cousino who
rivals the financiers of all times. She
is almost as famous former charities as
for her business ability. She is one of
the richest women in the world. At
her husbands death he gave her abs0-
lutte control of his immense wealth,
and she has proved herself veritable
queen of finance. She manages her
business, exhibiting great foresight
breadth of purpose, and great ability
as manager of affairs. She
has a power Of control that can
direct and harmonic the different
branches of trade and business in which
she is engaged. She has trained SUI
perintendent for each separate depart
ment. These she has the tact to pay
well, thus binding them to her inter-
ests. On one farm of vast extent she
has 400 men. Every house in village
of 5000 or 1000 is hers, and to the pco-
pie of this village and one adjoining
she pays out monthly from 800. 900 to
$1,000 She owns the only large coal
mines in South America. From them
she receives $50. 200 each month. She
has copper and silver smelling works
of great value, and a fleet Of eight iron
steamships. All this vast enterprise
she controls and directs. - Chicago
